Sucralose increased octanoyl ghrelin, but not total ghrelin release from gastric and jejunal segments in an α-gustducin-independent manner. Effect of 2-h stimulation with 200 mM sucralose or Krebs buffer on (a,b) octanoyl and (c,d) total ghrelin release from tissue segments of the corpus of the stomach (n = 6) or the jejunum (n = 6) from WT) and α-gust^−/− mice. Results are presented as predicted values ± standard error of the predicted values. * p < 0.05, *** p < 0.001 vs. Krebs treated segments.
